I love this idea so much...it's so easy and in about 2 minutes you can turn ordinary breakfast into something beautiful. Usually, I'm creating beautiful towers of doughnuts (or donuts) and pretty little cakes, but Haute Stacker works equally well with other pastries, breads and foods. These bagels are from Panera and even in a pile they still look kind of amazing... There's just something about the texture of the grains and seeds that bring a warmth and old-worldness (I'm pretty sure it's a word). One of my favorite things to do when we're super busy making chocolates at The Cordial Cherry, is to pick up a baker's dozen Panera bagels on Tuesdays...they're half off on Tuesdays and they just make everyone smile.

Of course, it's not necessary to stack your bagels...but you have to admit, anytime you elevate something, whether it's a cake, cupcake, or in this cake bagels, they just seem a little more special. Creating towers out of food is longtime tradition among food makers...it's something gourmet chefs, bakers, and chocolate artists have perfected over the years. Haute Stacker has just made it easier for them as well as everyone who hasn't been trained in the art of food presentation.

I designed Haute Stacker to be placed on anything and still look amazing. In this case, I just placed my bagel tower on a blue dinner plate, but you could set it on a cake stand, a candle holder, or even directly on a table. You could get really creative and set it on a vase or jar or vintage scale...the options are truly endless!

It's a little difficult to show in pictures, but the once you twist the topper on, the Haute Stacker display is super stable. When I was designing Haute Stacker, I literally did a little dance to prove to myself the stability of the cakes or doughnuts or cupcakes or bagels or whatever your stacking. And to highlight perhaps its coolest feature...the stacker plates can actually be used as plates! Of course they serve the function of allowing you to create really tall cake or doughnut towers, but they eliminate the need to transfer your cake or doughnuts to another serving piece. It's so simple...you literally just slide your stacker plate off and eat!

I could see this application being especially useful at a fancy continental breakfast or business meeting. Your making a statement about creating an extraordinary experience for your guests...everyone in attendance will be impressed.

Come to think about it....this would be perfect for so many occasions...a bridesmaid's brunch or breakfast book club or even just for simple house guests to make them feel very welcome.
